Zombie proof condos sell out

Susan DeFreitas EARTHTECHLING, 22nd October 2016

Looking for a condo that will survive disasters both natural and unnatural (i.e., the Zombie Apocalypse)?

So are a lot of other people, apparently, as we recently caught wind from CNET that the trendy flats on offer at Survival Condo — a converted nuclear ballistic missile silo in Kansas — have already sold out.

Come hell or high water — or both — you’ll dine on a diet of organic produce and homegrown fish fresh from the development’s high-tech hydroponic and aquaculture center. And if the unwashed (zombified) masses should beat at the door, pitchforks in hand, never fear.

Survival Condo’s owner, Larry Hall — a former software engineer — promises his condo-silo will have a military-grade security system equipped with both lethal and nonlethal defense capabilities (!).

Why did Hall want to turn this 174-foot-deep hole into condos? "To have a safe place for the increasing number of threats that are occurring," Hall told Mother Nature Network, going on to spell out the possible threats such as global climate change, terrorism, economic collapse, the solar cycle (and possible loss of the power grid), pandemics, civil unrest and food shortages.
